## Review summary

Users appreciate SteakMate's accurate timing for cooking steaks and easy-to-use interface, especially for beginners and those cooking multiple steaks with different doneness. However, many reviews highlight critical bugs in handling multiple steaks, causing naming loops and frustrating usability. The app lacks unit customization (cm to inches), audible flip/removal alarms, and adjustable timing for different cooking setups. Users suggest additional meat options and improved features. Despite these issues, it remains a favored tool for cooking steaks to preference, particularly praised for its free access and core functionality when working properly.

### Pros

- Provides accurate and easy-to-follow steak cooking times, resulting in well-cooked steaks.
- Supports cooking multiple steaks with different doneness preferences simultaneously.
- User interface is generally nice and straightforward for beginners.
- Includes many popular steak cuts and accounts for thickness and stove type.
- Offers free usage with good basic features.

### Cons

- App frequently gets stuck in a loop requiring steak naming when adding multiple steaks, making multi-steak cooking frustrating or unusable.
- Lacks configurable units (only uses centimeters, no inches option).
- No alarm or audible alerts for when to flip or remove steaks; requires constant attention.
- Timing may need adjustment depending on cooking method or heat source; no user-adjustable timing settings.
- Limited meat varieties and cuts; suggestions to add more meats like lamb and additional steak cuts.
